And don't miss this week's Duel Flashback, where we see if the buy or the sell order was the best call on Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCH).

You Get to Vote!

Once you've read the arguments and the rebuttals, it's your time to cast your vote. We'll tabulate results each week and revisit them from time to time to see whether you were right! As always, we invite you to join us in the Dueling Fools Message board to continue the duel.
